Locust.

About Locust

Locust is a kit car inspired by the Lotus Seven. It was a budget orientated kit car built using a ladder chassis and a marine ply body. It was created by a famous kitcar 'name' John Cowperthwaite. Shortly after his J. C. MIDGE had been successfully launched and the 'patterns' principle proved popular, it became obvious that perhaps the design of some vehicle other than the traditional style vintage' Roadster could lend itself to this method of construction. The criteria were that the car must have a very simple shape, preferably flat sided with virtually no compound curves on the main body.
